No software development on my side except for some tinkering with the fonts Walter has designed. When I joined the WP 34S team, the hardware was readily available and Pauli had written a good part of the code base. There was enough left to do for me: It took me about a year full time.

What is the present situation? The hardware is still under (slow?) development and it is neither available to Pauli nor to me. There is no code base to start with except what we have from the 34S project. Since the new device will provide more resources (screen, memory) this code base isn't really suited to start with. Walter has written most of the manual but I need to read all this before I even can decide on the next steps to take.

Furthermore, I'm much busier in real life then I used to be back in 2011.
